The Unequal Marriage by Vasily Pukirev (1862)
  • The backstory from Google:

    According to the most popular version, this scene is deeply personal for the artist Pukirev; this is his beloved marrying the rich prince. Most likely, she was a poor woman without a dowry and her parents considered marriage with a wealthy, prosperous prince to be the best option for her

    What are some game genres / styles you like that aren't being made anymore, or are being mde but not very often?
  • The tribes series, or z-axis games, where you are able to move up and down as well as the traditional x-y movement you see in virtually all games. Usually set as shooters, they are fast paced movement games that have a huge skill curve which is why they aren't made that often. Super fun when you get the hang of it though

  • Yeah Taiwan has had independence far too long for them to accept being swept into the Chinese system.

    A lot of hypocritical trolling in this thread. Tankie lemmy?
